Spokane County receives clean audit for 2024; officials praise cross‑department effort

County leadership informed the Board of County Commissioners on Sept. 30 that the county received a clean audit report for fiscal year 2024 and filed the annual financial report with the state and the federal clearinghouse.

The auditor and county officials described the result as the product of extensive cross‑department cooperation during a challenging year that included migration to a new financial system. One presenter said the state auditors "went so far above and beyond to get our audit report done in time" after county teams struggled to deliver required information on schedule; the county reported the filing was completed in time for bond disclosure requirements. Officials cautioned that the coming year will be even more challenging as the county continues to transition systems and processes.

County leaders asked the board to recognize the auditor's office and other departmental staff for their work. No board action was recorded in the briefing; the announcement was informational.
